Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Country Time Lemonade Drink Mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, Country Time Lemonade Drink Mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
While the cake is still slightly warm, use a fork or skewer to poke small holes across the surface of the cake.
Pour the glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes for extra tangy flavor.
Let the cake cool completely before serving. Optionally, garnish with lemon zest for an extra pop of citrus flavor.
Slice into portions and enjoy your refreshing Country Time Lemonade Cake!
